Ooh, this is a beautiful romantic piece! I just love that she is both a rose and a diamond.. I love the brilliance of her strength. Also, despite her solitary independence, she still beckons to come close, "inquire/admire" Love that! Beauty in both roses and diamonds, but you have delicate, alluring, fragile femininity in a rose contrasted with the hard, smooth, cutting, strength of a diamond.. rarity... purity... I just love all the aspects and descriptions that came together in your piece here. As always, great writing Robert!

the description of this flawless rose
as if it were to be found among the fountain
of youth..
lying deep within our wildest imagination
where butterflies glow & illuminate within the deepest darkest realms of existence.
the rarest find

I wrote a poem very similar to this once. It was of a completely different tone and I called it "Dumpster Rose". The conclusion's are not really at all the same specifically but the equation is very much the same. I like how you think (because I am an unabashed narcissist)

You don't have to fall into auto conciliatory mode. "You greatly appreciated it"? Really? Unless you're simply here for the pleasantries say nothing or be honest at all times. I understand why you do it, I am not innocent, but milquetoast responses are a waste of everyone's time. Are you writing or just pretending to write?

I really do fail at understanding individuals these days. Everyone is an enemy to me... it's wrong to assume that and I know that... but, I do it anyway out of compulsion. My apologies; I won't do that again.

This is great, Robert! Never before have I seen anyone give so much strength character to the "delicate" rose.
Then there's the issue of questionable beauty (...and her smooth, deceptively pretty petals)
Beauty is the habitual character given to a Rose, yet you challenge it with strength instead!!!
Yours is the kind of poem that leaves one thinking and rereading..
Great job!

I think it’s brilliant! I came from a review you did of one of my poems and I am glad I did! I like how there is this one Rose, that stands high above the rest in the way that it is extraordinary! I think part of why I like this peace is because a few years back, on a website that unfortunately no longer exists, I wrote a poem very similar about a special flower, different from all the rest. I think there are many people that can relate to the diamond rose, if it were to be portrayed as a human. Very well written.

I must believe the flower is the symbol of a lady. Often when they beckon you to reach out and touch, the result is blood. Nicely done.
